duneschick Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 I just bought my Banshee with the CPI racing pipes on it. I heard that when you hit wooooops hard or jump the brackets for the pipes like to break and then you have a hanging pipe! LAME. Sometimes when your camping not everyone carries a welder in there pocket!!! Is there something I can do to prevent this or mae it stronger without changing pipes? Quote
odaen Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 The older CPI's had a different mounting tab for the front hanger, that was prone to coming free, or so I've heard. The newer style have a hanger that splits where it is welded to the pipe. Part of the tab bends to the inside of the pipe, and the other half bends to the outside. I believe this fixed the cracking problem. I know I had mine for about a year, and never had a problem with them at all. Quote
gipperz Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Welcome to bhq. Alot of good info here. Quote
Cotton eyed Joe Posted March 15, 2006 Report Posted March 15, 2006 Keep an eye on it. I don't think it would bust off all at once. Inspect if for cracks, and if it does, just look up a welding shop in your phone book, as them if they can TIG weld, and go have the tab reinforced by them. Quote
duneschick Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Posted March 16, 2006 Thanks All. I will see if there is a local shop that might be able to do something before the problem does happen. I have checked for cracking, but not yet. Thanks. Quote
